The Godfather Returns...

[Carmine]

I just picked up a hard copy of this "new" novel. I am only a few chapters in, but, the story is set in 1955. "Inside" of Tessio's betrayal of Micheal( one of the first things to occur is Tessios whacking...) before the move to Nevada...some new characters...some old....details the setup of the 5 New York bosses...gives more deatils of Godfather, GodFather 2.

It has been a very interesting read so far. Is anybody else reading this? What da ya think?

Is there any mention of the big wet stinky pussy WARF sucking cocks in that novel ?

[Grant]

Cool!

Does it mention anything about the death of Clemenza? In Part II said it was a "heart attack" and Willi Cicci denied that it was. Did the Rasotto brothers have something to do with that?

Is this the same Grant that used to run the VHND?? How you doin', bro?:)

[Grant]

Nah mate, just a useless impostor. You might remember me as Rovus from the Links. I guess shoulda used that name again here.

BTW, I'm really diggin' this site! :cool:

Not yet...I'm only on chapter 7...Clemenza is still alive and coping with the "loss" of his good friend Tesio...He is also moving into Vito's (Michaels) house...
right now, Michael has dispatched Tom Hagan to "shore up" the father of the Govenor of New Jersey and an old friend of his fathers...Nick Geraci (new character) Soldato(soldier) for the Corleone Family has been sent to deny ANY involvement of the deaths of Barzini, Tattaglia, Stracci, Cuneo and Moe Green by the Corleones at a small Commission meeting in Chicago( Its small cause Mike had em all whacked!) Al Neri, Fredo and Johnny Fontaine are banging EVERYTHING in Vegas and Michael and Kay are "resting" in Tahoe...

The thing I like is how this book is interwoven with things you know from Godfather I and II ...gives a new meaning to important events.

I'm reading it right now. . .too early to speak much on the subject, but so far so good! Maybe it will lead the way for a fourth movie?

Flipped through it. It was ok.

Really good, and oftenoverlooked, book far as Puzo goes is The Fourth K.

Mario Puzo said before he died if he had studio control, he would love to have a 4th instalment made. Having the premise with Vincent (Andy Garcia) continuing the Corleone dynasty which has an ultimate downfall in the end. Whilst at the same time, showing the "rise of the Corleones" during the 1920s with Prohibition and when Sonny becomes a murderer, integrating the story with father and son like Part II did.
